according to shane i did, i popped both of em out cuz i didnt have the right socket to get the outer nut off and didnt put too much effort in trying to pop the whole cv out cuz i was kinda pissed off at it.

i have a sky drop pitman arm that just came in to go with my yota box which has a gm 1ton taper, rancho 44044's for the front and alcans for the rear, 35in mtr's with like 2in of backspacing on the steelies lol, manual tcase to swap in sometime and alot of other crap i cant think of right now cuz i just woke up...but ya.

I like my adapters and haven't been able to find a thread on pirate or google about adapters breaking. Everybody says they're the weak point, but it seems hard to find anything about breaking (or failing) wheel adapter. It makes sense how they're weak but not a lot of info to back it up. I might (this summer) get some Dutchamn alloy rear shafts for 6x5.5 and then figure out the brakes (redrill drums or disc conversion).

lemme know if u do....id be down to do that too, id love to bring my stance back in.

The problem is if I do that I'd still need to run spacers to have equal width front & rear. I'm not sure. The guys (local buddies & shop ) I usually ask say wheel it until I break and then we know the adapters are crap. I don't exactly like that thinking as then I'd be kinda screwed out in the middle of nowhere on 3 tires......

What brand are the rear adapers? All 5x4.5 to 6x5.5 wheel adapter will be 2 piece as one hole will overlap or be too close if they were one piece. Mine are from 5 X 4.50 to 6 X 5.50 Wheel Adapter/ Wheel Spacer and they're also 2" spacers. Pretty close to perfect match as far as width front to rear.

Superior 88 kit. Superior Axle and Gear I'm sure you could special order with the 6x5.5 bolt pattern. Might cost extra, but it is a solid kit. I'm still running the 28 spline 8.8 so options for me are super limited. Roder and Passport D44's have disc brakes, same WMS as Waggy D44's and already 6x5.5. It is hard to swap after my rear is already locked, geared, and new diff cover. So much already invested and my moderate wheeling the 28spline should hold up for a little. I'm easy on the skinny pedal. If I do swap it would be to a Rodeo (most common) D44 since it is ready to rock once shock mounts are moved and leaf perches.

hm...that is something to think about, but im in the same boat..
my 8.8 is already geared and locked...with a diff cover too lol but mines a 31spline so i think its here to stay.

as for the rear axles, that was kinda what i was looking at. for the front though...holy **** thats $$$. i know its worth it and all but....man....for that price i'd have my friends exploder already so i could do my 5.0 swap haha

im sure if we dont rock our **** out too hard itll treat us well...but i do want to upgrade to chromos sometime..
